    Skin wrinkles like that just means that your humidity is too low. And humidity is needed for a good shed.

    Are you using a heat lamp? Those destroy humidity, so if possible, I would turn it off.
    But if it's not possible, place a damp paper towel or moss in his warm hide. That way he can go into his hide for some humidity if needed.

    If you can take away the heat lamp, you can do a few things:
    1) Move the water dish to the hot side of the enclosure
    2) Use a wider water dish (more surface area = more evaporation)
    3) Cover 90% of the lid with a damp towel, plexiglass, or sealed tin foil.
    4) Use a substrate that retains moisture (coco husk or cypress mulch)
